John Terry Wants More Commitment

Despite the recent run of bad form, John Terry believes Chelsea can turn it around again as long as they "get back to basics".

 

Two draws and a defeat from our last three games might not leave most of us feeling particularly optimistic but the Chelsea captain insists we can still pull something out of the bag this season as long as the players re-focus and get back to doing what they used to do best—battle.

 

Terry was one of many who lost the plot a bit against Arsenal, diving in with the sort of two-footed tackle he could definitely have walked for.

 

But the Chelsea skipper holds his hands up when it comes to the side’s performances of late, saying: “We have to be honest and say in the last few weeks we haven’t got all the basics right, and now is the time to close ranks.

 

"Winning major trophies is hard, it takes great quality, athleticism, commitment, stamina, and decision making. You have to work and work and be better than the other great teams and players who are also working and working. We have to run for each other, we have to be a close unit.

 

"When we get those basics working at their best and then everything else will follow.”

Let’s just hope they rediscover "the basics" sooner rather than later eh?
